    Northstar Firebird and Savage River Illusion

    I really like my Northstar Trillium, the Firebird should make a nice quick water stream boat with its increased rocker.

    “Need” a new solo!

    My Trillium is the same way, pretty sure closed cell foam does not absorb water. From Northstar's site: Northstar arrived at our current flotation after research and development. We designed our end tanks to reduce weight, maximize space for paddlers and gear, and safely float a capsized...

    How much do you baby your composite boat on shore? (susceptibility to scratches?)

    I have a Northstar Trillium pack boat in Blacklite and unfortunately this year I have encountered a few submerged rocks and it does show scratches.

    We are considering a Northstar Polaris, it is a little trimmer/faster, and slightly less rocker which should allow it to track better in windy conditions when crossing open water. I purchased a NS Trillium pack this spring and it is a very nice canoe.

    I Can't Lift/Transport My Morris Canoe! . . . or can I?

    I like Halpc’s idea, but if a trailer is easier on the pocketbook, I would suggest the trailer made by The Dock Doctors. We have one and I am a 70 year old lightweight that handles the trailer easily.
